“...along came the Michigan CAE online study group and the CAE CRAM programs. WOW, what a difference that made! I went into this exam feeling 110% more prepared and calm, and let me tell you I feel like it made a remarkably different testing experience for me.”
Since 1998, MSAE’s prep course has demonstrated success with an average pass rate of more than 90 percent, touting participants from over 35 states and over 5 countries. This program has helped more association executives become CAE’s than any other entity through online learning; writing the original CAE Study Guide; generating reading outlines by domain; mock exams, and; CAE Terminology and Key Concepts Flash Cards. Prep course participants can call in from anywhere. Conference calls are also recorded for those who are unable to participate at the scheduled time.
